Maisie
Danger Brown just wanted to get away from home for a bit, see something
new. She never intended to fall in love. And she never imagined
stumbling into a frightening plot that kills her friends and just might
kill her, too. A plot that is already changing life on Earth as we know
it. There's no going back. She is the only thing standing between danger
and annihilation.

Things I Liked:
This was a departure from Shannon Hale's usual fare. But I loved it. I liked our main character Maisie and I watched what happened to her with great interest. There were many surprises in store, only a few of which I actually guessed before hand. I thought the story was pretty cool, even if it didn't seem terribly original. I love superhero stories, so it was kind of destined to be enjoyed by me. I really liked how not everything worked out to make Maisie happy ever after. It felt more real. Good story!

Things I Didn't Like:
I pretty much just liked it and didn't notice any flaws that may have been visible to others.
